Why can i not sleep in just 8 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need less sleep: Not all people require the same amount of sleep. Additionally as we get older we need less, and if 5 out of 7 days a week you don't sleep in because of a work r school schedule than your body becomes used to a certain amount of sleep.
